Da Bears!

And darker… As Carl Sagan said (prophetically) in his often-quoted book ‘The Demon-Haunted World’.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

Is there anything cuter?

Chicago will be lit this weekend. Saturday is the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival on Michigan Avenue.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Most Americans couldn’t pick Peter Thiel out of a lineup, and that’s exactly how he likes it. He’s one of the most powerful, influential, and quietly dangerous men in the world a political engineer with a surveillance empire and a philosophy that reads like a breakup letter to democracy.

Just as a method for us all to understand the mindset of MAGA. Of course this is a parody. #USDemocracy

Robert Held Witnesses Chilling Testimony in Chicago Lawsuit Against ICE ICE is terrorizing and traumatizing Chicago

I didn't see this until this morning 😂🔥🫳 🎤 What a f'ing embarrassment this regime is. Mike Waltz United States Ambassador to the United Nations cut off in middle of UN speech: ‘This is the UN General Assembly, it is not a Signal chat’

Sayonara Sailboat Saturday. Today on the Chicago River as some sailboats head to their winter home.

Tomorrow is the Chicago Marathon. Good luck to all the runners this weekend

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

The early morning light provides gold tones to the buildings along the Chicago River earlier this week.

That's white supremacism for you, but it's not just African-American mayors! You saw this, right? www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12...

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Literally no low is to low for the trump cabal. The fact is, it’s illegal. www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Meanwhile👇 In May, United Arab Emirates put $2 billion into a cryptocurrency company that was created by the Trump family and Steve Witkoff Soon after the United States agrees to give the UAE access to some of the most advanced artificial intelligence chips that are designed in the United States

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

These kids. All day

What species of critically endangered snowflake needs to deport 20 year old aspiring nurses to feel safe? I sure wish right-wingers huffing macho xenophobic bullshit were as angry about 'being systematically lied to' as they are about 'minorities literally just existing'.

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

This was my pinned tweet on Twitter, before I left. And I'm in London, UK! He's a true orator and on the right side. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXnl...

Mad TV was spot-on three decades ago.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

The Detroit Police Department is asking the public for help in locating Rain Williams, 12, who was reported missing on Friday. share.google/6A0Acqj99o0z...

Mo knows we had a good team of volunteers in today 😊

He’s the ‘Mozart’ of Math and Trump Killed His Funding www.thebulwark.com/p/terence-ta...

I tend to put it at Columbine over a decade earlier. Yeah, the kids were older, yet they were equally terrorized and slaughter. And our primary response was to "harden" schools and buy more guns

ESPN's tribute to Ryne Sandberg

I love #sharkweek !!!!!!

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

No country ever became more free by firing comedians.

"Trump destroys the American dream for immigrants. Wipes ass with US Constitution." There - I fixed your bullshit headline. #Complicit

Texas floods and NY Times vs. Mamdani.

The world must be set free.

Ace is the type of person that thinks because they tell it like it is, they're in the right. He needs to grow up. #loveislandusa

Thou shalt not let people be murdered at home for their political beliefs and just “move on.” Thou shalt not let children be murdered at school for trying to learn and just “move on.” Thou shalt never stop fighting to make these horrors end.

Touché.

Marines, these motherfuckers assaulted and beat a Marine dad. Absolutely fucking not. Unacceptable. Enough of this shit.

And now Trump saved the Russian economy by causing a surge in oil revenues. Simples.

As I recall, Kim Jong Un sent Putin missiles and even North Korean troops for his attack on Ukraine. Funny thing about old Kim. He certainly has a nuclear program that's farther advanced than Iran's was, but it's Iran who definitely "cannot have nukes". Anyone have any idea why this is?

If you weren’t alarmed, incensed, shocked & horrified by the actions of Kristi Noem, the FBI, and Homeland Security last week, you’re NOT paying attention. May I suggest you look into finding a civics class to attend, pronto!! substack.com/@demwinsmedi...

Trucker helped build the model, and their audience, even though he knew this dirty little secret the whole time. What a sleazy shit.
